A transcript is an official report supplied by a school on the record of an individual student, listing subjects studied, grades received, dates of attendance, and any other information deemed important by the school.

Prior to 2010, non-degree granting schools were required to maintain transcripts for five years, and degree granting schools were required to maintain transcripts for 50 years. As of January 1, 2010, schools are mandated to permanently maintain transcripts. (94900. Required Student Records).

In the event of a school closure, the school is obligated to provide a custodian of records – someone a student may contact to obtain a copy of their transcript. In some cases, a closed school will provide copies of transcripts to the Bureau. School’s student records that are currently in possession of the Bureau are listed below. For requesting a transcript from the Bureau, please use the "Transcript Request Form" form. For additional information on recently closed schools, please visit bppe.ca.gov/students/guide.shtml. For assistance following the closure of your bureau approved school, contact the Office of Student Assistance and Relief.

If you do not find your school listed below and you believe your transcripts have not been destroyed, then you may request information regarding the custodian of record by sending an email to bppe.transcripts@dca.ca.gov. Please include as much information about the school as possible. You may wish to use the "Transcript Request Form" form for this purpose, but it is not required.

About the Office of Student Assistance and Relief

The Office of Student Assistance and Relief (OSAR) was created within the Bureau to assist California’s prospective, current and past students of private colleges. OSAR provides prospective students information on making informed decisions when choosing a college and also information on their rights when attending a bureau approved private college. OSAR provides current and past students of private colleges information about their rights, filing a school complaint, and resources available to them (including potential reimbursement from the Student Tuition Recovery Fund). OSAR also provides one-on-one guidance to help students access State and federal relief programs, and free nonprofit resources. After receiving your transcript, if you need additional assistance with the next steps in pursuing your educational goals, please contact OSAR.
